Willow Swedish star half day workshop with Joe Gregory

Description

~ Final Christmas workshop of the year ~ I really love my Christmas weaving workshops! There are so many smaller items that can be made. We’ll start with the impressive Swedish Stars in buff and bark on willow for a stylish two tone look. These look great on a wall and with the addition of lights look magical. Time depending, we’ll then have a choice of a number of different smaller items. Mini reindeer, 2-D Christmas trees, bunting, 6-pointed and 5-pointed stars too. Come alone and meet other crafty folk or come with a friend or two for a special half day together. The willows tea and coffee house on the ground floor of the building will be open during the course for the finest ethical rainforest alliance coffee, teas, award-winning cakes and simple savouries. Notes: No prior experience not needed but you must have good mobility in hands & feet & be able to stand whilst working. Please wear old (non dangly) clothes, covered toe shoes (no sandals) & little or no jewellery. Level- beginner/intermediate.

Hi my name is Joe Gregory, I'm a willow basket maker and sculptor based in West Yorkshire. I started weaving as a hobby in 2004 and by 2008, I realised I could make a living doing a craft that I loved. Starting from my kitchen table to now owning a 5 storey Georgian building in the centre of Todmorden; weaving with Willow has provided me with the most rewarding career whilst enabling me to keep my family safe and healthy. I teach sculpture and basket making for everyone from beginners to more advanced weavers. I have also been lucky enough to teach internationally, as well as up and down the country. I've worked on some amazing projects over the years and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful craft. I am comfortable teaching children; beginners and more advanced weavers. Each class rewards me in different ways. I have been fortunate to teach those with different needs; from sight problems, to people returning from a stroke, to those with their own special needs. I am always happy to craft my class to suit everyone I teach.
